Although I was born and raised in the Ukraine, I studied English for 13 years; 10 years at a private school and then another 3 years at the Pedagogical University where I earned duel degrees in History and Psychology. Additionally, I have taken and passed the Test of Spoken English required to acquire a teaching certificate in Texas. Prior to moving to the United States, I gave private lessons for persons who desired to learn the English language as well as tutored students learning English in school. Here in the United States I currently offer private tutoring in both English as a Second Language and Russian to those who desire to learn it. Because I have had to learn a second language and adapt to a new country where that language is the primary spoken language, I know how difficult it can be to learn the nuances and idioms of another language. It has been frustrating at times, and I know that each student experiences different levels of anxiety when learning. But I can tell you from experience, it is wonderful to be able to speak more than one language and something you will never regret. I am here to help and encourage you to do your best and learn English as quickly as you are able. This is why I sit with each student at the beginning of his or her lessons and discuss your goals and present knowledge. Lesson plans are then tailored to each student so as to continually evaluate your learning, target weaknesses, and to maximize the educational experience.
Russian

Russian

If you are interested in learning Russian or Ukrainian languages, correct pronunciation and spelling, then there is no better way to learn it then to learn it from a native speaker. I went to private school in Ukraine where I studied Ukrainian, Russian and English for 10 years. Then I studied in Pedagogical University for 5 years, where I attended Russian and Russian literature classes. So, I am a teacher and a native born Russian and I am willing to teach you this language. I can teach you Russian Alphabet, Reading, Writing, Grammar.

Outstanding Tutor

I am a business teacher by profession and work with corporations all over the world and as such, have very high expectations of those teaching me something; particularly a subject as complicated and grueling as the Russian language. Although I have only had one lesson with Olha, not only has she met my expectations, she has far exceeded them. Olha is a great teacher and displays not only knowledge of the Russian language, but compassion and empathy. I highly recommend her for future students.

Great, structured, knowledgeable, and kind tutor

I’ve had a couple lessons with Olha now, and she’s great. She has an organized structure of how to teach the class, is easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable about the linguistics. She knows how to explain things easily and she’s very nice as well. Highly recommend

Forever tutor

I started working with Olga a few months ago, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is kind, patient, and an excellent teacher. With my busy schedule, I can only take lessons once a week for now, but she is always understanding and supportive. I often joke that she’ll be stuck with me for a long time—and I couldn’t be happier about it!

Knowledgeable and fun

Olha is my daughter's Russian teacher. She had her first lesson this week and it was amazing ! I am looking forward to seeing my daughter learn throughout the year from Olha! She is clear and kind.

Absolutely Wonderful, knowledgable and kind Teacher

My daughter said that Olha was really nice and a great teacher. This was wonderful to hear as she is weary of tutor's and prefers to learn on her own being a private person. She had been learning Spanish through a different company and the teacher was unfortunately unreliable and the teachers that replaced her were not very good. So, we are thrilled to have found such a gifted and kind teacher all in one. Thank you Olha!

Fantastic, practical, and friendly

I had my first lesson with Olha, and it went very well. Since she is a native Russian speaker, she could relate well to my challenges in learning English. Her approach was effective, and I look forward to more lessons with her.

Giving extra credit

She taught me more vocabulary of the Russian lexicon and she also taught me how to pronounce words in plural and she also taught me the fundamental of Russian grammar

Olha is THE BEST

Olha is methodical and patient and has a great way of teaching thoroughly and correctly. She is a wonderful teacher. I really enjoy and look forward to working with her weekly.

Lindsey, 28 lessons with Olha

Patient and personable tutor

I’ve worked with Olga for many months now, and she was extremely patient with me and very personable and easy to talk too. I would highly recommend her. :) There would be lots if repetition which I need and which if you know Russian, you know it is an extremely hard language so that really worked for me.
